Decoding the Weather Machine

Disastrous hurricanes. Widespread droughts and
wildfires. Pervasive heat. And extreme rainfall. It is hard not to conclude
that something’s up with the weather. And many scientists agree this
trend in our weather is not just a coincidence. It’s the result of
the weather machine itself – our climate – changing, becoming hotter, more
erratic.

Climate change is arguably the defining challenge of our
time, yet widespread misunderstanding and misinformation has hampered the
public’s ability to understand the science and address the issue. In this
documentary, NOVA will cut through the confusion and help define the way
forward.

Why do scientists overwhelmingly agree that our climate is
changing, and that human activity is causing it? How will it affect
us through the weather we experience, and when? And what will it take to
bend the trajectory of planetary warming toward more benign outcomes?

Join
scientists around the globe on a quest to better understand the workings of the
weather and climate machine we call Earth, and discover how they are
finding that we can be resilient—even thrive—in the face of enormous
change.
